Classics into action flick

Rating: 5/10 (11 August 2005)

That's how it is made.It's trendy nowadays:why bother and think up something new,extraordinary and questioning,when there is plenty of stuff that people are starting to forget about,or the younger ones even don't know about it.But if it is gonna be just an adaptation to nowadays days it will be called just a copy!We need to add something that director would never add in those days...Yeah more detailed action,commercials and special FX!That's how it is made : classic metamorphosis into action flick.
Visuals/Operator
So this part is good.Everhing in movie looks united in one style.It might not be futuristic,but hey - if you haven't's noticed it 'aint changing a lot in past 50 years.The apartments,cars and guns if not tagged with commercials and brand names looks minimalistic and tasteful.OPerators work fells nice and sometimes even surprising shots are taken.
Music/Sound
Once again unites with visuals and makes it minimalistic.SFX are good.
Everything Else
It sucks.Not a big time.Usual Hollywood sucking.Taking old school ideas of 60's and peeling off the abstract ideas or stylizations of those age and taking them seriously was a mistake.Who in the devils sake would use whole human copy for a "spare parts" ? This clone question ended like in 5-10 years.NOBODY NEEDS A FREAKIN CLONE.It's now researched how to clone the exact "spare parts" it needs so in the future when flying bikes will be good for something,this technology would be fully functional,and i'm not even talking about the money you need to function the whole island of human colony,taking service and keeping a secret AND securing it. Other question is ... when scrip writers actually realized it's gonna turn out BAD?When Lincoln cached a bug, or when they got captured bay cops and realized there would be no giant chase scenes?I mean they got captured by cops and OH DEAR GOD - A Surprise : they stop they car exactly so that freaking truck would smash front seats and leave the passengers in the back perfectly safe.On the other hand movie would be 20 minutes shorter...without "oh the whole army can't stop the lucky bastard"
If you want something action-filled and mindless smashing-it's perfect.But don't try to look something meaningful in the cover of past decade cool ideas.
